Where is the square root button on the scientific calculator that comes with Windows?

I need to figure (square root of 4500 pi)(103+450/.233)cubed. Not looking for someone to give me the answer to that, however, I can’t figure out which button on the calculator that comes with windows in the "Accessories" to use.
Found it! Kewl, now, what do I do with the 4500pie thingy? Is that the Pi button?
actually the answer approximately is 1.6×10^12
But I am not gettin that answer
Okay, here are the key strokes that I am supposed to make – keep in mind I have the calculator from Windows and these keystrokes are not the same with this calc.

Square root thingie(4500pie)*((103+450)/.233)^3

So with the Windows one I am doing
"Inv"X^2(4500pi)*((103+450)/.233)X^3
and I get 1.3 trillion.

It should come up to 1.6×10^12.

What am I doing wrong????? arg. Simple problem but I am not used to using this calc.
I don’t know why my keystrokes went/.2….

the key strokes should be at the end
/.2333)^3

Arg, just gonna have to get a new calc I guess huh.

I use x^y button whenever I have to do the square root thing.
this is because the square root operation is just the same as a power operation (if not even better :-)

here is an example:
square root of 2 = 2 power 1/2= 2 power 0.5 (x=2&y=0.5)

Now for your problem,
(square root of 4500 pi)(103+450/0.233) cubed

–the answer should be
1.0010268038918276 followed by 12 zeros.

hope it helps!

    It says sqrt. Don’t worry, took me forever to figure it out to >_<

    place a check mark in the inv (inverse) box and then click the x^2 (x squared) button. It then gives you the inverse of the square which is the square root.

    Make sure you are in scientific mode and use ‘Inv’ and ‘x^2′

    I was surprised that this was so complicated. If you choose "Standard" on the View menu, there is an "sqrt" button for square root. In Scientific mode, check "Inv" then use "x^2" (inverse of x squared is square root).

    "pi" does give you the value of pi. 3.1415926535897932384626433832795 I hope you’re clear on which operations are to be done first. From your question, I’m not so sure what is meant.
    I don’t know what you’re trying to calculate. Is approximately 1 trillion a reasonable answer?
